At the sa ti.
Ye Family villa.
Lanterns are just being lit.
The Hidden Dragon Guards of the Ye Family seem quite restless, glancing occasionally at the direction of the main hall of the villa.
"Who exactly is the guest that the Family Head invited? I see he treats her with utmost respect and deference!"
"Who knows? She’s dressed all in white, even her hair is white, quite frightening."
"That’s not important. The key is that she hasn’t eaten anything since her arrival! It’s been almost three days now!"
"Moreover, she seems to bring her own air conditioning, so cold and detached like snow... Yesterday, when I was reporting to the Family Head, I passed by the main hall and it felt unusually cold, gloomy..."
"It couldn’t be a female ghost, could it?"
"Don’t talk nonsense! This is an esteed guest. Offending the esteed guest, you won’t be able to handle the consequences!"
The Hidden Dragon Guards imdiately stood up straight.
...
In the main hall.
In the center, Xie Daoyun was seated cross-legged on a cushion, her fair hands spread open, eyes slightly closed, her expression serene.
The nearby maids did not dare to disturb her, always walking around her.
After a long while.
Ye Xingkong descended from the second floor at a leisurely pace.
He bowed with his hands together towards the center and said, "Senior, you have worked hard these past three days... I am deeply grateful for the progress my daughter has made!"
On the first day of Xie Daoyun’s arrival at the Ye Family, she had identified Ye Wenjun’s Extre Yin Attribute.
Their constitutions were similar yet unique.
Discovering that Ye Wenjun was practicing her own Cultivation thod, Xie Daoyun generously imparted her knowledge, spending ti each day to instruct Ye Wenjun.
Ye Wenjun was also hardworking, continuously cultivating and learning Swordsmanship.
One could say that her progress during these days exceeded several months of her past practice.
Therefore—
Ye Xingkong felt very grateful.
Unfortunately, Xie Daoyun paid him no mind, maintaining her position, with eyes closed in ditation.
After a long ti.
Ye Wenjun also descended from the second floor and slowly approached Xie Daoyun. Before she could speak, Xie Daoyun opened her eyes, and her gaze landed on the beautiful Ye Wenjun, speaking lightly,
"Today I will not guide you. Practice what I taught you yesterday a few more tis. When you reach this level... you will have passed."
While speaking, Xie Daoyun slowly raised her hand.
Creak.
Creak, creak.
Above Xie Daoyun’s palm, the air seed to solidify, emitting crisp sounds. Following that, an ice cone appeared out of thin air, which was extrely shocking.
"Pay attention, control the Primordial Qi in your palm. The Primordial Qi of an Extre Yin Body is exceptionally cold. Using this feature, you can freeze the moisture in the air and do many other things," Xie Daoyun’s voice was soft, "The rest is for you to comprehend."
"Thank you, Senior."
Ye Wenjun initially intended to kneel.
But a chilling gust of wind pulled her back up to her feet.
She knew Xie Daoyun was not willing to take on disciples, nor did she want Ye Wenjun to kneel.
Seeing Xie Daoyun close her eyes again, Ye Wenjun did not insist any longer. She turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
Once in the courtyard.
She picked up a thin, long branch.
A smile appeared on Ye Wenjun’s pretty face as she said, "I really do lack a suitable sword."
Practicing martial arts with a tree branch for a long ti had beco quite dull.
Ye Xingkong, too, with a face full of anticipation, ca into the courtyard, watching his daughter practice her swordsmanship.
In the past.
He could hardly imagine that Ye Wenjun was a natural-born cultivator. Just like that petulant Shangguan Linghui, her starting point was naturally higher than others.
Now, as his teacher has led him into the door of cultivation, it depends on the individual. He truly hoped that Ye Wenjun could beco even stronger.
The Ye Family would stand tall forever on the land of Yanjing and never fall.
While Ye Wenjun was imrsed in her practice, outside the courtyard, five or six people briskly approached with uniform strides, moving swiftly and with a commanding presence. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the gateway of the courtyard.
Donned in uniform pale blue robes, they emanated an overwhelming aura.
The leading burly man called out loudly:
"Summon Ye Xingkong, and Fang Yu, to co out!"
Ye Wenjun and Ye Xingkong both startled and looked over.
Outside the gate, a muscular man followed by four or five young n who all carried swords.
Ye Xingkong, upon seeing their distinctive robes, which did not resemble those of typical martial artists, beca cautious.
Without waiting for the Hidden Dragon Guards to intervene, he raised his hand and said, "Gentlen, what business do you have with ?"
The burly man said angrily:
"Are you Ye Xingkong?"
"That is indeed ."
"Where is Fang Yu?" The burly man pressed on.
"He’s not here at the mont, might be a day or two before he returns," Ye Xingkong replied truthfully.
The burly man snorted coldly and said:
"Let introduce myself. My na is Duan Shenli, the eldest disciple of the Luli Sect, and the little girl you bullied the other day is my junior sister!"
Upon hearing this.
Ye Xingkong and Ye Wenjun were both stunned.
What was expected, has eventually co.
"Gentlen, it was all a misunderstanding... Miss Shangguan..." Ye Xingkong just began to explain when he was interrupted by Duan Shenli.
"Nonsense! What misunderstanding?! My junior sister’s cultivation was crippled, and you call that a misunderstanding? Daring to wield such cruelty against the Luli Sect, you should have anticipated this day!"
The young n behind him spoke out with righteous indignation:
"Eldest senior brother, it’s not appropriate for us to be away from the sect for too long. Let’s waste no more words with him, and just flatten this place."
"Yes, eldest senior brother, if it’s inconvenient for you to make a move, we—the five disciples of Luli—can take action on senior brother’s behalf!"
"The great vendetta of our junior sister must be avenged, and their entire family must be eradicated!"
Those five went back and forth, directing their spearhead at the Ye Family.
After so contemplation.
Duan Shenli still shook his head and said, "The Sect Master once said, do not ddle lightly in the trivial matters of martial artists and commoners... After all, the junior sister is the Sect Master’s daughter, no matter what trouble she causes, nothing will co of it. As her senior brothers, we can’t behave as recklessly as she does!"
The five glared resentfully.
When the eldest senior brother spoke, no matter how much they disagreed, they had to listen.
Duan Shenli turned his head and looked at Ye Xingkong, saying:
"Ye Xingkong, I will settle this debt with you... To preserve your Ye Family, I have three pieces of advice for you."
Ye Xingkong was taken aback and then said, "Please speak."
"First, have that Fang Yu cripple his own cultivation and go to the Luli Sect to atone with his death! I know he is not a mber of your Ye Family, and we in the Luli Sect are reasonable—debts are to be repaid, wrongs to be redressed; second, let your daughter Ye Wenjun serve as a slave for life, attending to my junior sister in the Luli Sect; third, as the head of the family, you too should be punished – sever your own arms and face the wall in penitence for three years!"
Having said that, Duan Shenli snorted coldly.
Hearing these demands, the expression on Ye Xingkong’s face changed abruptly.
People from the Luli Sect really knew how to present absurd justifications.
"Eldest senior brother, this is too lenient for them! That Fang Yu should be hacked to pieces! As for that Ye Wenjun, a re commoner is utterly unworthy to attend to our junior sister, she should rightfully be made a slave and be given to the miners under the Luli Sect’s mountain, to be ridden by a thousand n or even ten thousand!"
"Right, as for the other Ye Family mbers, take them away to serve as miners, digging for our Luli Sect!"
The expressions on Ye Xingkong and Ye Wenjun’s faces changed again and again.
Just then, from within the hall of the Ye family villa, the voice of Xie Daoyun floated over—
"Who dares to run wild here?"
PS: Today I was supposed to add two more Chapters, but it wasn’t allowed due to not eting the standards; I even had to argue to keep four Chapters. Let’s wait and see, once the accumulated data is sufficient, I will add more Chapters. It feels like it will be next week. Thank you all for your support!
